Vehicle Detail
1965 Mustang 2 + 2 Fastback Relisted With No Reserve. Color: Custom Candy Apple Red /Black Interior 289 V8 4 BBL Dual Exhaust Rebuilt Carb - Strong Engine! No Bondo! Solid metal car! This is a great car,and worth owning. Mileage on dash: 41259 I have not owned this car its' entire life, this may or may not be actual miles. I did not alter the dash by removing the mileage indicator. Very hard to find in this condition! NO BONDO! Paint is V. Good, with some small bubbling near the lower area of the passenger door,driver's door, (small areas) above back window there is small areas of poor paint work, small areas near trunk lid are bubbling slightly.This is minor and only on the surface. See Photos. A lot of the parts are original FoMoCo. The car did not need a lot of restorationwhen I bought it. I also bought it knowing it had zero bondo,and was solid. The car is still solid,and I hardly drove the car. It was garage kept most of the time. I own other Mustangs and drove them more,and put this one away. Comes complete with some parts: Brand New Red Pony Interior ALL SEAT COVERS,Front and back. Also Red Dash Pad, and everything is like brand new shape and ready to install. The seat covers are new,pliable and were kept in boxes. It's just missing the carpet to finish this add on. Chrome is Very Good + 99 1/2% there,some slight pieces missing in the interior. This is easy to order from catalogs. I have one or two chrome parts in the back seat. You will see it in the photos. It has the original black pony interior. Interior needs to be finished,it needs the gauge cluster replaced, it's ugly, the dash works fine,otherwise, the dash is uncut! I would replace the carpet, it has an old car smell and it's worn out. They have catalogs with carpet that slides right in and fits perfectly. And it's not that expensive,either. The headliner is perfectly fine no need to replace. See Photos! This car only needs some slight restoration, and really anyone could do this, it's not major hard stuff to repair or make perfect. Even a novice could restorethis car,with some books and catalogs,and glancing at online Mustang Car websites for help. This is an easy car to restore or customize it,or repair or play around with. The body is very good,the car runs and drives really well,and I always get people asking me to sell them the car,anytime I drive it around. I also get a lot of people trying to open the hood, and check out the engine while I'm not there,so I installed a plastic coated chain to cut down on people trying to life the hood and take a look. This is very annoying,but I left the plastic coated chain on. It's easy to remove,as it's just added into the hood screw bolts. Otherwise the car is basicallyall correct,with good quality parts. Tires are Very Good + with great rims (styled steel wheels) I noticed one wheel was missing a center cap. This is also easy to find in catalogs. It's only for show. The tread on the tires is deep on all 4 and they have very little miles on them. As I said this car,was bought to keep and I just stored it in a garage,and did mild upgrades on it. (tires,rims,some chrome pieces here and there, etc.) About the engine: It's original to the car when I purchased it, I never had to replace anything. Other than a battery,normal tune up things, spark plugs,etc. Engine compartment has an export brace added, the engine doesn't leak oil,runs great! Carb works really great,no need to tune or play with! The glass: Glass is very good, no cracks, no major issues, maybe replace the weatherstrip around the doors,for a tighter fit. I had to do this on another Mustang I owned every 5 years just to make sure it was air tight. The trunk lid has weatherstrip issues, the trunk seals tight,but the weatherstrip sticks out. I would replace the single master cylinder brakes with a dual. Easy to do. Best thing for safety. I never got around to it. The car does not overheat,the car runs even and strong & smooth. It has a dual exhaust and sounds really powerful. It's a beautiful car. I would replace: gauge cluster(it's old and ugly) ,the interior carpet,seat covers maybe, new glove box and hinge,trunk weather strip is loose in a spot, door panels(inside). Otherwise the electrical system works perfectly. Never had a problem with that. It basically just has some cosmetic issues. Some slight paint issues. The car starts,runs,drives very well. It's a strong car,just needs some minor work to be perfect. I think this is an easy restore,and just about anyone could do thisthat has already some minor car repair restore knowledge. As you know, these cars are very popular, and have parts catalogs and a lot of things are easy to replacewith original FoMoCo parts. A lot of things are simple bolt on repairs! I am also selling this car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction whenever I think. There is no warranty on this car. It is being sold "As Is".
